Loved Through Doula Services

Everytime I witness the miracle of birth, I am in awe. This one though, was extra special. Being able to see this Mama so empowered and so proud of herself for getting the VBAC that she had hoped for, was something extra special. I am blown away by the strength she had and the amazing support of her Husband. Seeing a woman who knew her capabilities but was still cautious, accomplish her ultimate goal is even more amazing and powerful than birth itself. I am so lucky to have been able to be apart of these amazing moments. I am even more humbled that I got to cut this sweet babe's cord. ❤ Anders, you are a lucky little fella and your parents are absolutely amazing! Your Mom is as tough as they come! Thank you for letting me be apart of this AMAZING moment! This is just one of the many reasons why I love what I do!

I'm so incredibly proud of this Mama! Ashley Heitz Kozicki stood strong with every single obstacle she faced throughout her labor! She never let any of it bring her down! It was beautiful and I am so grateful that I got to be apart of it all! The team work and love that surrounded the birth of sweet Arya makes my heart full! ❤

I have anxiously waited for the right time to "officially" announce this and right now feels like the time!! There is SO much love surrounding this that I'm not even sure I can sum it up with words!
Not long after we lost Brayden I remember reading an article about a bereavement suite in Australia, they called it "The Kangaroo Room". It was a special space for families who were experiencing birth and death, all at once. It was beautiful. Jenny and I both talked about how we'd love to be able to help make something like that happen here, where we had our sweet Brayden. Wrapped up in all of my doula work, it has always been on my "list" of things to accomplish. 7 years after Brayden and 3 years into my doula work, that goal is finally in our reach!!
The goal of this fund is to raise enough money to build a bereavement suite at Genesis East and to make sure there is always a full stock of memory making supplies for these families to keep forever. Please, share away! Our first opportunity for fundraising is scheduled and I will post that separately! 😁

The Braydent Buntemeyer Fund honors the life of Brayden Buntemeyer who was born sleeping October 21, 2011. The fund supports infant bereavement programs at Genesis East BirthCenter, ensuring all families are provided with compassionate care as they endure unthinkable loss.
